Dear Student,

St. Hubert High School exists so that students will become women of faith and integrity, leaders in the 21st Century. This is accomplished through an outstanding and varied educational experience, which includes academic and spiritual programs, as well as a variety of sports and extracurricular activities. The academic program is designed to challenge students to achieve their full potential. A discussion with parents/guardians, teachers, counselors and department chairpersons should help you reach decisions that best serve your needs. Soon you will be choosing courses for next year. This will be accomplished online, and procedures will be explained to you in an assembly. If you are seeking exceptions for courses for which you may not be qualified, you must obtain a course exception form and follow all directions for submission, including deadlines. We encourage you to stretch your learning and reach into new areas. High school is the best time to reach for the stars! We wish you the best in your selections and future studies. Sincerely, Mrs Craig Principal

There is an AP fee of approximately $90.00 per test.

POLICY REGARDING CHANGE OF COURSES Selection of courses should be done only after serious, careful and thoughtful consideration. Therefore, once you choose your courses and they are approved, you will be expected to abide by your decision. Due to complexities of rostering students, it is imperative that parents and students realize that schedules cannot be arranged to accommodate after school commitments. The only valid reasons for requesting a change would be if you were assigned a course you did not request or for which you were not qualified. If for any other reason a change or drop is requested, the Academic Affairs Office reviews the request and makes the final decision. If approved, there will be a $35.00 fee.

TRACKING SYSTEM Most courses are offered on two or more levels or tracks. Since the range of ability among students is extensive, it is felt that tracking narrows the range to where maximum student achievement is possible. There are four different tracks on which a course may be offered: AP - College level courses that follow syllabi of The Advanced Placement Program

of the College Board Honors - College preparatory courses for the

exceptionally gifted and industrious student Track 2 - College preparatory courses for students of above average ability Track 3 - College preparatory or general classes for students of average ability

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

The courses listed in this booklet are planned for the 2013 - 2014 school year. The School Administration reserves the right to cancel a course or merge two track offerings if an insufficient number of students register for a course or if other conditions warrant such a move.

THEOLOGY DEPARTMENT Religious education endeavors to carry on the mission entrusted to the Church by Jesus within the dimensions of Message-Community-Service. Theology teachers proclaim the Gospel of the Risen Lord, which alone gives meaning to life, in order to arouse in the students a faith which is living and active. The goal of the Theology Program at St. Hubert High School is to present the basic teaching of the Catholic Christian message and to lead the students to value what the Department has established as its objectives:

- to attain an openness to the actions of the Holy Spirit - to encourage a personal commitment to Jesus Christ and to the values He

expresses - to develop an appreciation for Sacred Scripture and the tradition of God’s

people - to promote an active and genuine participation in the Liturgy of the Church,

and a habit of personal prayer - to arouse a desire to answer the Church’s call to service - to create a sense of loyalty and affection for the Church - to inspire a spirit of involvement in the issues of peace and justice in the

world.

Teacher Recommendation

WORLD LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT

The World Language Department offers Spanish, French, Italian and Latin. In these times of international communication, commerce and diplomacy, the knowledge of a second language is an invaluable asset to any career and will enhance the student’s chances of success in every sphere. Minimum college requirements at most area colleges stipulate two years of one modern language. Many colleges request that students consider three or four years of one language rather than two years of two languages. Any freshman or sophomore who is not already taking a language is asked to pre-register with the language department chairperson. Students who qualify for Latin will be invited to register for that course.

Language 1 The first year is a basic introductory course using proficiency-based texts. It aims to give the student the ability to begin to become proficient in the language through listening and dialogues between students and teachers and the knowledge of fundamental grammar. Stories, videos, computer software, DVDs and songs acquaint the student with the historical and cultural background of the people. Pre-requisite: Acceptance by department

Language 2 The proficiency-based approach is continued and fundamental concepts are built. Emphasis is placed on grammatical and reading skills, as well as speaking, with further development of vocabulary. Proficiency skills are enhanced through group projects and cooperative learning activities. Pre-requisite: Recommendation of teacher

Language 3 Level 3 of all languages develops basic language skills by providing expanded practice in the target language, by using important grammar structures in reading and writing. The curriculum is expanded to include the history and civilization of the language being taught. Pre-requisites: Recommendation of Language 2 teacher based on academic performance (both written and oral), genuine interest and available space

Language 4 The main thrust of this year is to improve communication skills. There is a further development of the knowledge of literature, history, art and music of the language. Students learn to apply skills mastered in levels 1 – 3 through cognitive learning and inferential processes. Pre-requisites: Recommendation of Language 3 teacher based on academic performance (both written and oral), genuine interest and available space

N.B. Please note that Spanish 1 and 2, Track 3 is a two-year-only program. Due to the slower pace of instruction and reduced amount of material covered through the use of a more basic textbook program, students in Spanish 2, Track 3, may only enroll in Spanish 3 with the recommendation of their Spanish 2 teacher and with a commitment to study additional vocabulary during the summer. Placement is also conditional on class size. 511 Spanish 1 Honors 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 9, 10, 11 512 TR 2 513 TR 3 521 Spanish 2 Honors 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 10, 11,12 522 TR 2 523 TR 3 525 Spanish 3 Honors 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 11, 12 526 TR 2 527 Spanish 4 Honors 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 12 531 French 1 Honors 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 9, 10, 11 532 TR 2 541 French 2 Honors 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 10, 11,12 542 TR 2 545 French 3 Honors 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 11, 12 547 French 4 Honors 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 12 552 Italian 1 TR 2 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 9, 10, 11 562 Italian 2 TR 2 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 10,11, 12 565 Italian 3 TR 2 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 11, 12 571 Latin1 Honors 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 9, 10, 11 572 Latin 2 Honors 1.00 CR 6ppc GR 9, 10, 11
